Results of this research revealed that teachers working in private sector universities were experiencing higher work family conflict; male college teachers of both sectors had higher work family conflict as compared to female college teachers of both sectors. Teachers who were designated as an Associate Professor had higher work family conflict as compared with Lecturer and Assistant Professors. It is recommended that management of private sector colleges may take necessary steps to reduce the work family conflict of college teachers. It is recommended that teachers who are suffering due to higher work family conflict may take psychotherapy and may learn the art of cognitive restructurings in order to save themselves from the adverse effects of work family conflict. It is also recommended that teachers must practice religion in their life and seek help from Allah Almighty for better resolution of work family conflict.
